2.5 Database Query - Working with Data and APIs in JavaScript

It's time to start querying data from the database! For this, we create a new HTTP GET request route, make the request with the fetch() function, and search the database with find().

You have saved my grade for my Web Dev class. Our final project is due in a week and requires server and client side code. This series has been a life saver. Perfect timing too!

[BassfacePD]

As a teacher learning to code, I have so much appreciation for how you structure these videos and the projects you guide viewers through. Pacing is just right, these videos are acting like glue that holds together my patchwork knowledge of programming languages! Thank you so much!

[kirammanenjoyer]

Please do more videos about server side programming. Love your videos! 😊😊😊😊

[preyped]

If only you had been my professor in my web dev course

[universalworthy]

"my level of web design" 😆 it looks like a master piece to me. Thank you very much, Dan.

Would love to see another video on how to secure the API from unauthorised users.

Bro, you're a genius!, why didn't I think that before!, fetch, makes a get request, that can be ACTUALLY caught by the server-side with just simple middleware, to give a response with the data on the DB, OMG, you just... illuminated me, thank you so much!

Just some clarification on the small changes he made in app.post in the server that he talks about in the beginning of the video.

He said he changed the argument for database.insert() to data, but this is not a change. The 2.4 video already had that.

What he changed was the response.json() argument. Previously he passed it a new object that was the same as the data object except an additional {status: 'success'} key-value pair. I'm sure this is what he meant to say instead.

this is amazing, you have covered exactly what i was looking for, could not find it anywhere else and you explain it well on top of that thank you

[Carl-yuuw]

I do like this recent coverage of web apps, in as much a it is an interesting and a potentially 'useful' diversification away from P5 models and graphics on your channel. Node, Express, and server side template engines like Handlebars to create a simple CRUD single page application next, possibly? Front end framework project series one day too, maybe? Certainly lots of scope in this field for you to enjoy!

I would love to see you do a series on how to work with 3rd partyt APIs like Twitch or Youtube and how to make a login window and get the oauth token etc...

[kenyadigittt]

Love the homework. Really helps cement the ideas in my head!

[rehash_dev]

Those videos are Awesome... Lessons are clear and easy to learn. I have done a lot and learnt a lot from this video series. Thanksss

[jayant]

Finally i can smile while watching a code

[andreimaier]

Thank you for making quality content! I learn a lot from your videos!
I have a question...do you still recommend using nedb in 2023? Seeing how it's not maintained anymore. What alternatives do you recommend?

[dappermink]

Hey, just wondering, do you have any plans on doing a Web Assembly series at some point?
Anyway, keep up the good work, you're wonderful!

[jomamma]

This video is most acceptable Daniel. Do you have any related videos that demonstrate how to integrate with more robust databases such as MongoDB or a RDBMS?

Sheefmahn, you 've got the Power!!!

[guifolico]

Amazing job! Very Helpfull. Greetings from Brazil!

Back-Tics Syntax really needed a name for this finally.
